'I was back at the food bank the day after mum died... it's what she would've wanted'

Ameera Ramzan has battled personal loss, freezing conditions and national emergency to do what she most loves doing - helping the people of her Manchester community.

Ameera runs Heaven's Angels, a food bank with a difference. She started it herself during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it's not linked to a big charity or a church.

It pops up on Fridays in different locations across Manchester, from church halls to the street. The people it helps learn through word of mouth and social media, don't need referrals, and there are no limits on how many times someone can visit.
